dertuan then referred to 'past services, and assured the livery that the interests of the City of London should always be his first care. Ht would serve them with all his strength, with all his heart, and . with all his mind.—(Loud ap.. pl ause .)—There was one circumstance which in gratitude be ought to mee:rion, which. was, that Sir William Curtis said he would give. 'his vote to him, and but that illness prevented his at tendance. at the hustings, he was well assured that the worthy Baronet would have kept his word his sun, however, Mr. Wm. Cnatis, had promptly come forward and given him his vote. The 'worthy Alderman, after repeating his thanks to the Livery, with drew, and was cheered by the Meeting. Mr. T. HALL then said, that it devolved upon him, as the Chairman to the senior Candidate's Committee,' to move that the cordial thanks of this Common-hall are hereby justly due and re spectfully offered to John Crowder, Esq., and Thomas Kelly, the High Sheriffs of the City, for their able, impartial, and conciliatory conduct during the progress of the late election. Mr. Fame wooded the motion, which was carried by ac clanutkno tater which the Sheriffs returned thanks, and the meeting separated. The Hall was but thinly attended. SURREY---Juan 19. The r.:disy and bustling appearance which this tort had worn ° in", the commencement of the election, was singinarly changed t:;10 morning. The news that Mr. Sumner had declined the contest .did not teach Guildford until four o'clock yesterday. From the manner in which the meeting of Saturday was concluded, there seemed no reason to believe that it would be relinquished so soon, although it was quite obvious that the late member had no chance of ultimate success. It Was thought, also, that the sub scription would enable him to continue the contest, awl that the pleasure of harassing hit opponents, and putting them to expense, would induce him to persist. The polling this morning was very languid ; but still there were a feW votes for Mr. Sumner. At about an hunt after it had commeneed, a repOrt was spread that another candidate was Minot to offer for the representation of the county, in the person of Sir William .lolliffe. It was of course perfectly unfounded, but Was nevertheless industriously put about by the friends and the committee-men of Ms. Sumner. At 12 o'clock the poll was closed, and the Sheriff announced his inten tion of holding the court in the Town-hall at one o'clock. At that hour the doors of the Court were opened, and the Hall was immediately filled. Some ladies, who had been previously admitted, filled the jury-box and side galleries. Proclamation having been made, the High Sheriff' declared the numbers polled to hive been, for Mr. Denison - 2,307 Mr. Pallmer - - 2,055 Mr. Sumner - 1,037 and that Mr. Denison and Mr. Pallmer were duly elected accmd ingly, This announcement was received with loud acclamations. The ceremony of girding evvordw on the representatives, as knights of the shire, was perf n and the deed recording their election signed by the freeholders. Mr. LEECH they addressed the meeting. It had heel' alleged • complaint tLiat no county meeting had been held for nomi hating "" ( P.,.;atee, and he therefore now mentioned it. in the pre sence e Nthe Sheriff. Not that he had any intention to reflect upon P .., 1 se High Sheriff, whose honourable and impartial conduct .was known to every one; or upon, Mr. Pannier, but that upon all future occasions the freeholders might have timely notice to select candidates. The Ilion Sneerer said, that although as a matter of courtesy to Mr. Leech and the meeting, he was ready to explain his conduct, he did so, premising that he was not the servant of the county, but of the King. lie was amenable to no per.- sons there, and acted only under the authority of the law, and in obedience to the King's writ. It was usual, he knew, for eheriffe to accede to such requisitions from freeholders, and if he had received such a requisition he should have obeyed it ; but be should have done so from a wish to protect their interests--not because he was by law compelled to do so._(Cheers.) Mr. Detersorr said, that although expressions of gratitude were soon exhausted, the sentiment would never quit his bosom. If he did not entertain those sentiments he should be the basest of man kind. To have polled such a number of freeholders of Surrey 'svithtut a canvass was the proudest triumph of his and their joins kiplee that he had ever witnessed.--(Cheers.)—lt was imps- Wible, with 40 many interests as prevailed in this populoes county, to please every body ; but he trusted that he bad never omitted to do any thing in his power which he wits culled upon, or in any degree forfeited hie lie wits ready at all times to obey the requisitione of the freeholders; but he had no right to dictate them. "not tome he acute of life, mei of the prettiest effect of the principles on which be ected, convinced him that they were adapt ed to promote the welfare, wit only of the British empire, but the whole world. Ile would always be. Numd enforcing the necessity of economy and retrenchment, of the amelioration of the condi- Wiwi of the slaves, of reducing the public debt as far p possible, and not, as had been done in this year, of adding 8,000,000/. to it.--(Cheers. )---He world plainly state what were his principles. He wished to see more of puhliospirit in the House of Commons, and fewer placemen. He wished to see elections carried on with so little expence, that any respectable country gentleman might cohteat a county With the proudest ariatocret, and without the fear of being overwhelmed by his opponent's wealth. In the en suing Parliament there must be discussed two topics of deep in terest to every person in the kingdom : he meant the emu lates and the currency. Whet was the cause of the corn hill Taxation. What was the cause of that taxation ? The late destructive and expensive wars in which the country bad unhappily been engagt4. It was unquestionably necessary to keep faith with the public creditor ; but at the *tune time it was necessary to dc, every thing that could be done to diminish the public taxes, taking care that the burden fell equally on all classes. Let the landholder be protected from the taxes which lie now paid exclusively,—that is, from tithes, poor-rates, and ceases, and then let corn come in as free as any other. commodity. With respect to the currency, he had last year voted with Ministers, be cause he thought the immense issues of paper from country hank ers would ruin the nation, unless they were speedily checked.— (Cheers, ).—The misery which ensued to all classes from the failure of these banks was as notorious as it was painful to contemplate; and unlasa security were given for payment of their issuer), they ought not to be permitted, It was possible that the steps already taken in tint respect had been too precipitate, but the principle of them was just and must be acted on. It might he necessary to permit for 4 thins a raiser currency, on account of the difficulty ref returning to one of specie immediately, but there was no reason why security ,ought not in all cases to be given.—(Loud applause.)—He hoped those topic' would be discussed with the care and moderation their importance entitled them to.— The landed and commercial interests were bound together by an adamantine chain, and it was theheight of folly to believe that one could prosper without the other. He cougratulated the free , holders that this contest had been carried on with the spirit of Englishmen, but also with the feelings of gentlemen.—(Cheers.) --s• There had not been iii Guildford any of the riots which had disgraced other parts of the country. He promised that he would do all in his power to execute the business of the county, and re gretted that his talents were not equal to his desire to serve them. He concluded, amidst land applause, - by assuring the meeting' of his everlasting gratitude. Mr. Perim rea then presented himself. llis gratitude was inexpressible. lie accepted the sacred stewardship they had con ferred on him, and would execute the duties which belonged to it with pleasure and ..tvith pride —(Applause.)—He thought that Mr. Leech was mistekeil when he said that a complaint was made respecting the want of a day of nomination—at least he (Mr. Pannier) haffnever eompleinesh It was true that in elections the High-Sheriff's duty was only ministerial; be might refuse to call a retesting far the purpose of nomination, but be never did so It it were once coueeded that a duty of nomination was neees wary, it might be, its some instances, convenient, but it wasld also he highly dangerous. What could prevent a new candidate offering himself on the day of eleetion, in addition to those who bad been no minated 7 There was never an election at which there had been Used surprise than this, and never one in which the public voice was more freely heard.—(Cheers.)—A. contrary practice to that which had been folloWed might have given rise to great dif ferences between electors, and to the exercise of a mischievous influence on the part of some persons, which maw only he e audocive to disturbing the peace of,. the county. The pride and pleasure be felt , was more on account of the electors than himself. Ile hoped that svhnt they had here douse would set an cga mpla which would he followed throughout England.

Lord Holland, Lord Grey, and Lord Lofts down were excellently qualified to hold the reins of govern ment if the country should need their services, and he rejoiced that there were such men; but he did not scruple. to avow that he was better satisfied with those who now held the goveinnient. He pronounced.. a warm eulogium on the private virtues of Lord Liverpool. It was a subject of congratulation, that the most eloquent voice in Europe was raised for the relief and ameliora tion of the foreign subjects of this, country, and that another en-:, lightened Member of the same Cabinet was employed in forirking a clear code of laws, and simplifying all thatAiine had made ob. score in our admirable system of jurisprudence.

Corn Laws and the Currency he had only to say he. would 'Orly them as well as he was able, and endeavour to snake his conduct satisfactory to his constituents. lie concluded by praying that Heaven might long preserve them and the constitution, the chief principle of which they had this day established.—(Loud applause). The business of the Meeting was concluded by the elected Mem bers being girt with a spur, and carried on men's shoulders out of. the Court-house. They were then mounted upon two cars pre pared for the purpose, and decorated with rihands and laurel leaves, and in this state were paraded though the town. After this ceremony was completed, each of the Candidates en tertained u large party of friends to dinner. HUNTINGDON, MONDAY, JUNE 19. The Snartisx, on opening the poll this morning, came forward, and announced that he bad made a mistake in stating the numbers on Saturday night, and that having since carefully examined the poll books, he found them to be as under : Mandeville - - 820 Russell 764. • Fellowes . . 763 The Sitram , added, that the Inspectors appointed by Lord John Russell had not gone through the poll book, but, should the result of their scrutiny be the discovery of any further error, be would immediately come forward and annomwe it. It will be seen, on reference to the numbers I last transmitted you as having been given by the Sheriff, and also to those after wards circulated by Lord John Russell, that both are widely dif ferent from what now is promulgated as the true state of the poll. How these gross mistakes have originated ; has not been explained. The business throughout the morning has gone on very briskly, though at the same time without any display of bad feelings en the part of the mob who are congregated 'around the hustings: The following four ptigilists are in the town--• Richmond, Crawley; White-Headed Bob, and Young Burn. It is publicly rumoured that they have been hired by the agent of one of the Candidates, and that they are to receive 101. each -for coming down : at present their services have not been put in requisition. Much interest is excited by a fellow hired by Lord Mandeville and Mr. Fellowes who is constantly par . ading the town, with a dress which, including his stockings, hat, and shoes, is one half side purple and the other scarlet ; even his face exhibits similar party colours. He is accompanied by a group of boys, with their faces daubed in the same way, and his Juiciness is ever and anon to excite them to a loud shout of " Mandeville and Fellowes for ever—hum !" Lord Milton, Lord Cavendish, and Mr. Coke of Norfolk, were all in this town on Saturday. They are at present most actively engaged in stirring up the partisans of Lord John Russell, and it is expected that in the course of the day they will each of them bring in a strong muster of voters. The following, among a mass of other placards referriag to the Catholic Question, are to be seen in all parts of the town : " A PROCLAMATION., " Whereas it it a well:l;i;ifittliat there are a considerable number of perking in this kingdom who profess the religion of Joanna Soutlieut. ; " And whereas it is expedient, in these dark and ignorant times, to put down all religions and sects whatever which are not established by law, and to enforce pains, penalties, and dis abilities against them, lest they should get the upper hand and persecute us. , . " And whereas the good Lord Mandeville and Mr. Fellowes intend next Session of Parliament to move for leave to bring in a Bill, in which all the followers of the said Joanna Southcote, as well as all Jumpers, ivill be persecuted, and properly kept down, by the same penalties as are enforced against the Catholics of the present time. " Now, therefore, he it known to all freeholders, that Lord John Ruswll look* with iin eye of compassion upon these deluded creatures, and would have them free to exercise their opinions, and be admitted to the same rights as the rest of their fellow4uhjects. And, therefore, it' he is returned again to Parliament, the county Will be ruined by the folinweroef the saitt.loatingt Southcote, who are at this moment inleague with the Emplane of China to sink us all, to the bottom of the sea, By order of the ;tar Chamber, " TITUS OATES." The following is a republication of certain maxims put forth by Lord John Russell, with queries to each of them by his oppo nents. " ;Vo Popery—but emancipate the Catholics, that they may not join with foreign Papists in time•of war." Query--Is not this admitting that the Catholics are ripe for rebellion if their claims are not granted ?" " Church for ever, but emancipate the Catholics that they may not help to pull it down." " Query—Js not this admitting that they are willing to lend a helping hand to pull it down ?" " King for ever, hut emancipate the Catholics that they maybe come his loyal subjects, and have no cause for dissatisfaction." " Query- 0 May 'become : 1 is not this admitting that they are not loyal subjects now ?" "Great Britain for ever, but emancipate the Catholics that they may not put an end to its perpetuity." "Query--Is not this admitting they are disposed to put an end to its perpetuity ?" There is also another placard silted " Betty Bigot," and ad dressed " To the Old Women of Huntingdon,' who are ironically called upon to come forward awl vote against Leird Russell if they wished to prevent the Papists from coining down upon them in a idy and roasting and eating then) upon the Market-hill. At twelve o'clock this day the numbers were as under : Gross Poll. Palled this day. 1359 - - 39 SOS 40 779 - - 16 Mandeville FeHowes Russell At a quarter, to two o'clock— Mandeville 892 I Russell Fellower 84 £ OXFORD COUNTY, JUNE 19.—(From a Correspondent.) The sense of the County of Oxford war manifested this day in a decisive and extraordinary manner. The polling commenced at ten o'clock, and after that hour, during the whole day, strings of coaches, carriages, waggons, Ice. moved in columns up to the hustings, filled with voters for Mr. Vane and Mr. Ashurst. The multitude of voters who polled for these two Gentlemen is almost inconceivable; and very few were polled for Mr. Stratton. When the poll closed.at five o'clock it stood thus Ashurst Faite 1304 i Stratton 1238 1036 The announcement of this poll by the High Sheriff was received with unbounded applause by the Freeholders, and Mr. Stratton i►un►ediately afterwards resigned. It is rather worthy of re►nark, that more than eight hundred voters arrived in this city to-day, who had nut polled, and who intended to !mil for Farce and Ashurst.—The chairing of Mr. Fano and Mr. Aehurst takes place tomorrow.--(ibis Sisy.) PRESTON, Jura 18. Cohbett came down to the hustings yesterday evening just he fore the polling closed, and resumed his favourite system of buf foonery, jesting with the mob, and turning the other candidates into ridicule by grimities and ludicrous gestures. Mr. Stanley turned sway in silent scorn, while Captain Barrie, like a true joke-loving sailor, laughed cordially at the mountebank tricks and practical jests which were levelled against himself. At five o'clock the pull was closed. Mr. Stittley - - 945 I Captain Barrie - - 586 Mr. Wood 538 Mr. Cohbett - 442 Coaaerr then addressed the mob.—" Gentlemen, I hold in my hand two affidavits, sworn by two men, in which they state they have been turned out of employment for having voted _for me, and a third from a man who says be hassuffered the mime pe, nelty for not having voted for Capt.

Can there he any tyranny greater than this? I my, the Dey of Algiers is not , guilty of greater. But for the encouragement of the poor mau who may suffer from suck tyranny, I promise you I'll share my last shilling with any man who shall receive injury for voting for me. But do you stand firm; my friends, and defy your tyrants, and they Must submit to you in the end. They must give you work, I say, if not the loss will be their own; for, if you should fail in procuring employment, Gentlemen, there remains the land for your Support. Gentlemen, they cannot hinder you front hieing relieved by the poor rates ; Gentlemen, so don't be disheartened at my going away, my 'friends, for I shall leave behind me a skilful person who Will bear your com - plaints, and take down your evider , :t, and sen d it to me i n London, and if I do not see justice dune to you, may I for ever forfeit that which I prize most valuable in this world, your sup port and esteem.—(Tumultuous acclamations.)—You remember a proclamation issued before the election, by young HorraCks, in which he stated that he would not stand candidate, because he understood that all your votes had been promised to others, and be would not induce yon to break your promises. This was before he knew you promised your votes to me. Yet this same spark, the moment he learned that Captain Berrie had come down, went round to all his workmen, and called upon them to vote for Captain .Barrie, in violation of their promises to uw. I charged him with it yesterday evening on the hustings here, and he did not dare to deny it. Yet a paper of this town, the Preston Chronicle, a paltry t h ing of ink and dirty paper, that vile reptile, that lying sycophant of the press, says, that Hors rocks denied the charge at the time. The Editor of ronide,--1 repeat now, that m ll e 0 rr o d e i ksr did the deny P it iLeso: t Ititear%; bim on this very spot. Cottarrr.—That base thing added that Mr. Horrocks wished to address you on the subject, but was prevented by his friends; and very good friends of his they were that prevented him. It reminds me of an epitaph composed for the tomb of an author, who had written books against the doctrine of the resurrection— Lie still it' you're wise, You're if you rise. (Uproarious laughter). So young liorrocks acted wisely in hold ing his tongue; for if he had spoken he would have damned him self out of his own mouth:.L--(Hotra).—Now, gentlemen, you that are injured, you that Are turned out of work, gentlemen, fin• giving your votes to me, coins you to me,. and I'll get redress for you, if not to the utmost of my wish, to the utmost of my power. If young Horrocks is here now, let him deny the charge—(From the crowd "he denied it before")—let him speak now.—(A voice from the crowd, "You know well he is not here.") No answer— yoo see then, gentlemen, how it is. I have no more to say to you at present. God bless you all,—(Huzza, hum,. Cobbett for ever —Cobbett a plumper.) Cobbett and his mob then left the hustings. Ilaving'reported to you Cobbett's attack on the Editor of the Preston Chronicle, I think it but justice to the latter to add the real facts of the case. Cobbett, as you may remember, charged Mr. Horroeks, on the hustings, on Friday evening, with having compelled his workmen to vote for Captain Barrie, in violation to their promises to Cubbett. Mr. Horrocks instantly denied the charge, in the most distinct and indignant language, within my hearing. Cobbett, on his return to his hotel, told his rabble that Mr. Hounds did not deny the charge. The Preston C/u•on icle of Saturday states the fact of Horrocks having denied it; and yet Cobbett attacks the Editor in the language I have reported to you, well knowing that that gentleman is a Reformer• i►► politics —an admirer of his (Cobbett's) talents—an approver of his poli tical opinions, and, on public grounds, a well-wisher to his electioneering project ;yet such is the fury of this " fine animal's" temper, such is his absolute destitution of principle, such his want of common shame, that he falsely and busily attacks one of his own political friends, merely because that public friend, act ing as an independent and impartial Journalist, contradicted one of Cobbett's lies. Having paraded the town in the evening, he harangued his mob in the usual style frOm his hotel. Just before he commenced, a Reporter from a London Paper, who has been in the habit of re porting, with scrupulous accuracy, all the stuff that Cobbett spoke before the election, entered the room to report his speech of that evening. The moment . Cobbett saw him, be turned on him in a f ur y-4g You, Sir, you ; quit the room this moment ; I don't want you here; I want to have nothing to do with the d—d lying Morning Herald." The Reporter, of course, left the room, and the readers of that tasteful journal have, in consequence, lost Mr. Cohbett's ferocious eloquence of Saturday evening. Cobbett's friends having reported that Mr. Brocolas, of Claugh ton-hall, a Catholic gentlempsof rank and fortune, had been in the habit of entertaining Cobbett, that gentleman felt so hurt at the imputation, that he came to Mr. Stanley, and solemnly denied that he had had the slightest connexion or communication with Cobbett. Cobbett has not thotiligthteaxchative of success. DOVER; • Jura: 19. Onr Election his finished this afternoon, after a very severe struggle between Mr. Thomson and Mr. nalcoutb.

On Thursday a county meeting was held at Bodmin,'to nom nate two Members for the County of Cornwall. Mr. Tremayne Watt put in nomination by Mr. Buller, seconded by the Rev. W. Molesworth ; Sir R. Vyvyan, by the Right Hon. Pole Carew, seconded by Mr. J. T. Corytom , Mr. Pendarves was then pro posed by Mr. W. Peter, and seconded by Mr. W. Rashleigh. Mr. Peter said, that the present contest war in every respect the most important, it was very evident. By it was to be decided whether Cornwall was to rank as an independent county, or to sink into a rotten borough, to be governed by a Thatched-house faction, and have Representatives imposed on it by the aristocracy.— (Loud cheering.)—When the late Mr. Gregor retired from Par liament, Mr. Tremayne succeeded him as a Tory Member; when our late venerated Member, Sir William Lemon, died, the aristo crat!), resolved to place Sir Richard Vyvyars. as his successor ; thus attempting to secure both Members, and bring the county to the state of the borough of Truro, which quietly receives the nominees of a Noble Lord ; or Michell, which is represented by the nominee of the same Noble LA 1, and the nominee of an Hon. Baronet ; with various otlita boroughs that might be named.—(Cheers.) —This cannot be suffered by you, the inde pendent freeholders.—(No , no.)—When in London, he had often been reproached with the venality of our boroughs. When asked how this was, he has said, Cornwall disowns these Member* ; they belong not to us. With respect to the absurd cry of " No Popery," it reminded him of the delusion 'represented to haVe been practised on an innocent girl by Ferdinand Count Fathom, who being desirous to seducer her, gained access to her chamber by frightening her with a supposed host. So the Hon. Baronet, to seem his object, wished to terrify the freeholders with tales about the Pope, whilst he laughed in his sleeve at their credo lity.-:-(Cheers.)—As to a design to establish Popery, it was ab surd in the, extreme to impute it to' any of the candidates. He should detain them no longer, , but to recommend Mr. Pendarves to them as a gentleman folly quali fi ed to represent the county i n Parliament.—(Loud eheering.) Mr. PeNnattVES was received with general and loud cheering. He congratulated his brother freeholders that the time had at length arrived when they had to exercise the most important pri vilege of Englishmen,—the choice of persons to represent them in . Parliament. They were met to do their duty to their country and themselves ; and he was well assured they would so perform it, and not allow the aristocracy to dictate to them, by commanding them not to reject him. (Cheers, and cries of " We will not.") He felt deeply indebt e d t o hi s honourable friends for the kind man ner in which they h a d s p o k en of him. They knew him, and he believed they could trust him.—(Cheers.) —At the death of Sir William Lemon` he seas called upon to offer himself for the county, and he had taken some steps in consequence; hut the want of due preparation, induced him to withdraw. This determination was thought by many of his friends to be premature, and numbers attended on the day of election, when they strongly expressed their determination of proposing him and going to the poll. It was with difficulty he prevailed on them to relinquish their purpose. He assured them, that if then returned, he would immediately pledged a ts . elf them, redeem vacate his se a t by accept i ng the Chiltern Hundreds; hut h e that th a pledge, he at present etood beforet at the general election h e wou ld cornstbr w h them, and placed himself in the hands of the freeholders.— (Loud cheering.)-...A 5 his opponents had made use of the Catholic ques tion as the chief ground of their hostility to .hiit4 he should at once touch upon it. That question had been properly stated - . by the Hon. Baronet to be solely political, and as such he regarded it. His habits of thinking and t;-'eliPg rendered him reluctant to de prive of civil rights any individual,- merely becanse he conscien tiously worshipped God in a form different from that which he himself approved,-,-4Cheere.)--but still be would - never consent to any memo* in favour of the Catholics, without what he con sidertsi sufficient security for the established elturch.—(Cheers.) (Here a person who headed the hired gang brought from Lost withiel to cheer Sir Richaed Vyvvan slid interrupt Mr. Pen &ryes, began. vociferating " No Popery" so vehemently , that Mr. Pendarvee, looking towards him, said he appeared to be "No Popery" mad,—(Laughter.)—There was another subject to which he should brief)talludes;--Negro Slavery. lie was an ene my to slavery in e ver y form ; but he was not an advocate for the immediate emancipation of the slaves in our West India colonies. Respecting the Corn Laws, he would observe, that deriving all his property from land, he could not hi supposed to design any injury to the landed and agricultural interests.—lt was evident that it was steady prices, rather than high prices, that were of advantage to farmers. High prices might benefit the landlord, but steady prices were to desired by the tenant. It was, however, absurd to suppose any of the great interests of the country could flourish independent of the others. The depressed state of busi ness of the fairs lately, showed plainly that agriculture must feel the scarcity of money caused by the stagnation of trade ; whereas, let trade and commerce flourish, and money will again flow into our markets.—(Hear.) _ The Ilion SHERIFF proceeded to call for a show of hands; the show for Mr. Treniayne was considerable; that for Sir Richard Vyvyan was very scanty : the show for Mr. Pendarves was immense, being at least thirty to one above that„for Sir Richard. The High Sheriff announced that the choice of the freeholders had fallen 6n Mr. Pendarves and Mr. Tremaple.— The announcement was received with loud and long-continued cheering. Thanks were then voted to the High Sheriff for his able and impartial conduct in the Chair, after which the Meeting was dis solved. RFSIGNATION OF MR. TREMAYNE.—Each of the candidates dined with his friends separately. Mr. Pendarves and his friends occupied the long room at the hotel, which was crowded to ex cess. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts were drank, after which Mr. Pendarves and other gentlemen present returned thanks, on their healths being drank, and the utmost hilarity prevailed until shout eight o'clock, when two gentlemen, friends of Mr. Tre mayne, entered the room, and announced his determination not to go to the poll. The surprise and agitation caused by this an nouncement was very great. The freeholders, friends of Mr. Pendarves, instantly surrounded the gentlemen, anxiously inquir ing if Mr. Tremayne had finally determined on the measure, or whether any support the friends of Mr. Pendarves could con sistently afford would change his purpose. They were asiured that Mr. Tremayne had fully resolved not to incur the expence of a contest, and that all idea of going to the poll, under existing circumstances, was abandoned by him. This, of course, closed all further discussion. We have just learned that Mr. John Gould intends to attend the election at Loetwithiel on Tuesday, in order to propose Mr. Tremayne, notwithstanding that gentleman's resignation, and that he proposes to keep the poll open to the last hour. NORTHAMPTON, JUNE lei. The contest for the representation of this town is now drawing nearly to a close; upwards of 1,700 voters have presented them selves at the hustings, and to-morrow, or Tuesday at farthest, is expected to put an end to the confusion which has been displayed during the week. The polling has been carried on with amazing rapidity, which will appear evident, when we state that in 1818 the poll lasted 13 days, and since that time nearly 700 additional votes had been created, the whole of which will now be polled in seven days. Sir ROBERT GUNNING, who is still very unwell, has said but little, but he has been liberally supported by his friends. A very serious disturbance had nearly taken place on Friday evening. While Major Maherly was addressing the electors, some one in the crowd threw a pebble at him, which fortunately did not take effect, and the consequence was an immediate rush after the miscreant who had thrown it, and who, making for the head quarters of Sir Rohert Gunning, the friends of Major Maherly fol lowed him, and, supposing him to be one of Sir Robert's friends, made no ceremony in commencing an attack on the windows of the George Inn, a great many of which were completely demolished. Major Maherly, however, went to the scene of action, and, by his endeavours, order was restored, without any serious personal in jury being sustained. The contest lying between Sir R. GUnning and Major 11laberly, but little notice is taken of Sir G. Robinson, whose return is cer tain, front many of the friends of the other parties dividing their votes with him. The following was the state of the poll last night:-.- ' Sir G. Robinson - - - - 1190 Major Moberly ' - - - - 1006 Sir R. Gunning - - - - 778 . _ Lord Viscount Aliborp and W. It. Cartwright, Esq. were on Friday re-elected for the county without opposition, and were im diately after chaired round the town. GREAT MA PLOW. The report we Stated in our last of Mr. Morrison's success was incorrect. Mr. T. I'. Williams, however, did not un that account resign, hut after a strenuous contest was returned duly elected. The partictilars which we expected of this struggle cliff not reach us until after our paper went to press. Front the account we received it appears that the contest arose out of an accidental inter view at an inn at Marlow, on the Ist instant, between one of the inhabitants of that town and Mr. Wooler, long known as the editor of the Black Dwarf. On a representation being made to Mr. Wooler, that a candidate was wanted to oppose the return of the Messrs. Williams, Mr. Woofer undertook to produce a per son adapted for the people's choice. He left Marlow on that er rand nn Saturday morning, 4nd returned on Sunday evening, bringing with him the clerk of the solicitor of J. Morrison, Esq. and a promise that Mr. Morrison and his friends would be at Mar low on Tuesday. A meeting of the inhabitants, which had been held with Mr. Wooler on Friday evening, spread alarm among the party of the Messrs. Williams, who immediately began to make preparatioas for a contest. Mr. Morrison was urged to he at Marlow as early as possible on Monday morning, and assured that his election would be certain if he arrived by 9 o'clock. Circumstances, how ever, prevented hie arrival till the afternoon. Messrs. Williams availed themselves of the interval by commencing their canvass; and the town was in a ferment the whole of the day. About 4 o'clock, Mr. Morrison's approach was ascertained, and a party proceeded about a mile out of the town to meet him. —On the arrival of the party at the market-place, Mr. Morrison addressed the people, and was followed by addresses from Mr. Coats and Mr. Wooler. On Friday the poll commenced. The town was thronged to mess; and it was found necessary to adjourn the poll to ten o'clock on Saturday morning. The following is the state of the poll on Friday evening 0. Williams - -16* - , T. P., Williams - - 128 Morrison - - 99 Rlr. Mammon being, from his first arrival, refused admission at the Crown Inn, hews. under the necessity of proceeding to the Red Lion Inn, at WycOmbe. On Saturday morning he returned from thence about nine o'clock, and, on his arrival at Marlow, assured the people that, whatever the result of the pending contest might be, he would oppose the interests of Messrs. Williams on every future opportunity, until the borough of Great Marlow was emancipated from the thraldom under which it had ben so tong oppressed. The business of the election recommenced at 10 o'clock, when the several votes which had been objected to the preceding day were scrutinized and adjusted, and other suffrages received. At the final close of the poll that after noon, .the numbers announced were as follow:- 0. Williams - 187 T. P. Williams - 117 Morrison . - 122 The two candidates at the head of the poll were then - declared duly elected, and proceeded to address the electors. They were followed by Mr. Morrison and Mr. Wooler ; and it was intimated that Mr. Morrison, though he had lost the election there, would, from having a majority of legal votes, gain his object elsewhere...— Bucks Chronicle.

He did not conceive it necessary for him at that time to enter on the' g rand questions which agitated the empire; but that it would he. right to keep himself clear from all party connections—to give his vote honestly and conscientiously on all measures Whatever. — (Cheers.) The Sheriff thin asked three times whether any other freeholder wished to propose any gentleman to represent this county in Par liament? The assembly n-as all anxiety, but a dead silence pre vailed. The Sheriff therefore declared John Fleming, Esq. of Stoneham Park, and Sir William Heathcote, Bart,. of Ifuriley Park, duly elected to represent this county in the ensuing Par liament.—(Cheers.) Mr. FLEIIIiNG then addressed the Meeting. As he stood there not only as a candidate for their present favours, but also to an swer for his conduct On their former trust; he was willing first to hear if any freeholder present had any observation to make on the past, so that he might have endeavoured to explain it. As that was not the case, he should proceed, be feared feebly and imperfectly, to profer his thanks for the favour with which they had received him that day ; but above all for the honour just conferred upon him by his election as their Representative in Par- liament. The Members were then girt with the sword and spoil , r' Knights of the Shire, and the other ceremonies gone through in. the County Hall.

The loyal and constitutional toasts were drank with great enthusiasm. The dinner consisted of every delicacy of the season, with four bucks, a present from the Members, and was well sem ed. The whole was conducted with perfect decorum, and, taking it all in all, there never was an election for this county which went off so free from confusion. In .the evening every thing rs as quiet, save here and there a drunken man, as though nothing extraordinary had happened. There were fewer persons present at the Hall than ever were known on a similar occasion. CUMBERLAND.—Cattustr, Jura 16. The election for the county of Cumberland took place this day. About half past nine Lord Lowther arrived, and quartered at the Globe, without exciting the least interest. Several of the blues waited at the entrance of the 'town, with banners and music, for Mr. Curwen ; and as soon mile entered the town, he was received with. immense acclamations. When Mr. CURW EN went into the dining-room, and appeared at the window, the cheering of the crowd was tremendous. As soon as silence could be obtained, he addressed them in the follow ing words :—"Permit me to return you my most grateful thanks for the reception which you hare this day given me. I trust and hope that the people will always find me what they have always found trie,—their warm and zealous friend." Then turning round the hon. gentleman addressed the company in the room :—" wish to say one word to von, gentlemen_lt is necessary for me to do so, because several rumours have gone abroad not at all al along n creditable g to my character forindependence. said respecting Mr. Brougham and the Westmoreland contest. — It is construed as if I meant to support a party whom I have all need I s ° a P y Pn l "d nei . . --- er forty years opposition, it is not likely that I would turn to their favour just as the last spark of my life is going out.

(Cheers.) At a quarter before 12, the gentlemen ascended the hustings, and as soon as Mr. George Saul, as Under-Sheriff, read the set , and other necessary preliminaries were gone through, Sir P.

During that lengthene d period it required, more especially at the earlier part of it, some courage to withstand the difficoltieS of the time, ; it required awne courage to oppose Ministers in whatever plans they _might wish to bring forward.—(Groans and cheers.r---Mr. Senhouse called for silence).—l say, Gentlemen, that he who at that time had the hardihood to att e mpt to oppose Ministers in their plans was con eidered to be an enem y t o th e St ate !
